Major rallies to protest the Tempi train cover up were held across Greece again today as the politicians responsible refuse to resign.
Protests over the collision between two trains near the Tempi gorge in central Greece in February 2023 that claimed the lives of 57 people have spread to all sections of society in Greece
They embrace also the voters of New Democracy, such as lawyers, judges, prosecutors, business owners.
The protests are a manifestiation of a general awakening to a system of corruption triggered also by the covid jab harms.
As the public has become more sceptical of the government and media, it has followed the ever new revelations of facts and research showing also the train collision freball was caused by an inflammable substances, confirmed by an official investigation, and the cover up, denials and lies with ever more horror.
Scepticism extends to the media, polls showing Mitsotakis party Nea Democracy with a double digit lead and even to the integrity of the election process.
